Yes, I think they should be reduced to only lines and only when the object is 
selected.
PMDistanceControlPoint (the class used for the radii control point) has a flag 
"extraLine" in the constructor. If you set it to true, a line will be 
displayed from the sphere center to the control point, but only when the 
object is selected.

Attached is a screenshot of a sphere sweep with a problem in the view 
structure.

Ok, I will add it.
Hmm, maybe I should name them "Add point" and "Remove point", that's what they 
do. Is "split segment" and "join segments" irritating? Comments?

I will add the parameters to the configuration dialog if you didn't yet.

Btw: You should look at the KDE style guide. Your labels didn't use the right 
capitalization.
